Merry Christmas everyone! Melissa here with a page I made just for fun.

This layout is made of two layers of watercolor paper.

I started by putting the photo on layers of canvas and paper. I brushed both layers of watercolor paper with a light mix of prussian and cobalt blue watercolors. I sponged on gesso to soften any hard lines that the paint left. I poured on crackle accent,and when it was dry painted it with a little blue watercolor, then some Lindy's.

I applied fussy cut images,rub ons,and bling. I glued on some wood veneer snowflakes I had coated with glossy accents and glitter.

You can see micro beads and seed beads on the left.

I made some flowers with a sizzix die, I use it all the time.

I painted with some brown watercolor under the layers the photo is on, and also a little on the right of the top layer of watercolor paper.

I sprinkled glitter over glossy accents on the lower right side.

Here are some views in the sun. I always like them the best because you can see the details so well.

Hi everyone, Melissa here with a page for Tresors de Luxe. I love working with the lace from this company, it's just so beautiful.

This is a photo my mother in law took of my sister in law and her son. You can see the photographers shadow at the bottom of the photo.

I applied texture paste with a few stencils,and then sponged on gesso. I put the photo on top of a layer of canvas and one of handmade paper. I painted with different shades of blue and green watercolors, a mix of gold mica powder and water, and water color pencils.
